Chapter 45:
Due to the vicious incident of Liu Lirong's murder, the winter camp ended earlier than usual.
Wei's father and Wei's mother went back to Haicheng in their own private jet, while Wei Lizhou and the others followed the school's chartered plane back.
The final result of the case has not yet come out, and the local police in the resort are still investigating the case.
Wei Lizhou and Yu Yiqing are waiting for the plane to arrive in the hotel lobby.
Liu Yirou walked up to Wei Lizhou and the others.
She looked at Wei Lizhou and Yu Yiqing, hesitated for a while, but still said to them: "I think Liu Lirong might not be the murderer who killed you."
Ye Panbai, who was standing beside Wei Lizhou, immediately looked at her with surprise on his face.
"Now all the clues from the police point to Liu Lirong!"
Ye Panbai didn't expect Liu Yirou to speak for Liu Lirong.
Hearing the obvious accusation in Ye Panbai's words, Liu Yirou pursed her lips in embarrassment.
"What's the reason for your judgment?" Yu Yiqing suddenly asked Liu Yirou in a low voice.
Liu Yirou raised her eyes and looked at Yu Yiqing in shock, "Don't you suspect that I am protecting Liu Lirong, my cousin, in order to preserve the Liu family's reputation?"
Wei Lizhou smiled and teased Liu Yirou and asked, "Sister Liu, do you think you are like this kind of person?"
Seeing Wei Lizhou's trusting eyes, Liu Yirou couldn't help showing a relaxed smile.
Wei Lizhou looked at Liu Yirou, and said to her: "Yu Yiqing and I think back to what happened that night in the past two days, and we both feel that Liu Lirong is a bit strange. Although we did have some conflicts with her, it is not enough to make her hate her so much. Let it go to the bone."
Liu Yirou nodded, and said softly: "You may not know that Liu Lirong's mother believes in Buddhism. So she was asked by her mother not to kill since she was a child. She can kill two people in a row, which is beyond me. Knowing about her. After all, since she was a child, she probably hasn't even killed a mosquito."
Wei Lizhou frowned and thought about it, and said: "The person who pushed me off the cliff that night had great strength, but Liu Lirong's figure looks very thin, and she doesn't seem like someone who can use that kind of strength. .”
Ye Panbai retorted loudly: "For strength, maybe she has stimulated the potential of her body in a hurry? And if she is not the murderer, why would she jump out and admit it?"
"To cover the real murderer." Liu Yirou said lightly.
As soon as she said this, Wei Lizhou and Yu Yiqing all looked at her suddenly.
Liu Yirou met the gazes of Wei Lizhou and the others, and asked softly: "When you mention Liu Lirong, who do you think of first?"
"Yan Kaichen!" After Ye Panbai blurted out, his face instantly became shocked.
Liu Yirou nodded.
Wei Lizhou and Ling Heke also showed a bit of surprise on their faces at this time.
Ye Panbai couldn't help but said: "Although Yan Kaichen is a bit hypocritical, he can't be so cruel."
Ye Panbai had known Yan Kaichen since he was a child, and he couldn't believe that Yan Kaichen would do such a thing.
Hearing Ye Panbai's surprised voice, Yu Yi said calmly: "A dog that can bite doesn't bark, he is not a kind person in the first place."
From the experience of the previous life, Yu Yiqing knew that Yan Kaichen looked gentle and elegant on the surface, but in fact he was the most ruthless and unscrupulous person.
After hearing Liu Yirou say that Yan Kaichen was also suspected, the first instinct in Yu Yiqing's mind told him that Yan Kaichen was more likely to be the real murderer.
It's just that Yan Kaichen is thoughtful and good at hiding behind others' backs, that's why he hasn't been caught yet.
Liu Yirou looked at Yu Yiqing and the others and said, "There is no evidence to confirm that he is the murderer, all we have is speculation. I will often go to Liu Lirong in the future to see if I can start with her and find some clues."
Yu Yiqing nodded lightly, and suggested: "You can wait a while before visiting Liu Lirong, and try not to let Yan Kaichen know about your visit, so as to avoid arousing his vigilance. Only when he relaxes completely , it is easier for us to find his flaws."
Liu Yirou: "I understand."
Wei Lizhou rubbed his chin thoughtfully, and suggested: "If Liu Lirong really took the blame for Yan Kaichen, then she must care about Yan Kaichen very much. Senior sister Liu, you can use Yan Kaichen's affairs outside as an entry point for chatting, and see if you can break through it. she."
Ye Panbai squinted at Wei Lizhou, "I can't see it, Wei Lizhou, you can still play tricks."
Wei Lizhou lifted his chin triumphantly, "No, I have passed a life-and-death test anyway, so I must be better than before."
Seeing his smug look, Ye Panbai deliberately asked: "If Yan Kaichen is really the real murderer, do you know why he killed you two?"
Wei Lizhou was stopped by his words.
That's right, they didn't have any deep hatred with Yan Kaichen, why did Yan Kaichen put him and Yu Yiqing to death?
Hearing this, Yu Yiqing also began to think. But no plausible motive was found from Yan Kaichen.
Liu Yirou looked at Wei Lizhou and Yu Yiqing, and said: "As long as the suspicion of Yan Kaichen has not been cleared, you should be more careful about him. If he is really the murderer behind the scenes, although he failed this time, but I can't guarantee that I will attack you in the future!"
Hearing this, Ye Panbai couldn't help but patted Wei Lizhou on the shoulder, and persuaded him: "You should avoid confronting Yan Kaichen in the future. I think if he is the murderer, the person he wants to target is probably you. After all, you have confronted him a lot before, and Yu Yiqing has basically never had any direct conflicts with him."
Wei Lizhou suddenly realized, "Yes, I should be the only person he wants to target!"
Wei Lizhou frowned slightly, and looked at Yu Yiqing, "I'm sorry, my deskmate, so I got you involved this time."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Ye Panbai and Ling Heke, "You should keep a distance from me in the future, lest innocent people suffer because of me."
Yu Yiqing: "Don't think about it, how do you know that he is targeting you? Maybe it's me."
Ye Panbai also said to Wei Lizhou: "If he dares to come, can we still be afraid of him? And the reason why you were recruited this time is also because of being attacked. If Yan Kaichen is facing you, what is the point?" The ability to subdue you. Although I advise you not to conflict with him, I am just worried that he will jump over the wall in a hurry."
Ling Heke nodded approvingly, "If he is really the murderer, and he still doesn't give up, then we should get together."
Seeing their appearance, Liu Yirou smiled, and comforted her, "Maybe all of this is just our imagination. It's also possible that Liu Lirong is the real murderer."
Yu Yiqing was noncommittal to Liu Yirou's words, and he secretly increased his vigilance and guard against Yan Kaichen.
Moreover, for some reason, he always felt that Yan Kaichen was coming for him, and Wei Lizhou was only implicated by him.
He lowered his eyes, thinking carefully about his previous life and what he experienced after rebirth.
—
It has been two days since Wei Lizhou and the others returned to Haicheng from the resort.
This afternoon, Yu Yiqing looked helplessly at Wei Lizhou, Ye Panbai, and Ling Heke in front of him.
Yu Yiqing: "Is there no other place to stay after you are on vacation?"
Wei Lizhou and the others visited the house he rented for three consecutive afternoons, and stayed there until the evening before going back. They were so comfortable that they regarded this house as their second home.
Wei Lizhou brought his game console over, and while he was playing the game console, he said, "My mother told me to play with you when I have nothing to do, to see if I can catch some of your smartness."
Yu Yiqing sighed, and looked at Ling Heke, "What about you? Aren't you going back to Guangcheng after the holiday?"
Ling Heke looked indifferent: "My dad will come to Haicheng to hold the annual meeting of the Wei Group, and I will go with him then."
Yu Yiqing's gaze shifted to Ye Panbai who was making tea by himself.
Ye Panbai raised his head and smiled at him, "As I said before, we need to get together more to prevent Yan Kaichen from tripping Wei Lizhou."
Yu Yiqing: "..."
Wei Lizhou raised his head and waved his hand at Yu Yiqing, "If you have something to do, go back to your room and get busy. We will take care of ourselves, so you don't have to be polite to us."
Yu Yiqing: "..." He didn't want to be rude to them, it was they who were rude to him.
Seeing Yu Yiqing return to the room, Wei Lizhou immediately put the game console in his hand aside, and said to Ye Panbai and Ling Heke beside him, "Have you brought all your things?"
Ye Panbai snorted and laughed, "Don't worry, I brought everything!"
Yu Yiqing stayed in the room until the evening, and it was only when it was getting dark that he heard the knock on the door.
He walked over, opened the door and saw that Wei Lizhou was standing outside the door, smiled and said to him: "At the same table, can you come out for a while? I have something to ask for your help."
Yu Yiqing didn't know why, but he followed Wei Lizhou to the living room.
As soon as he walked into the living room, he saw a burning brazier on the floor of the living room. He looked helpless for a moment and couldn't help but rub his forehead.
"What are you guys doing?"
Ye Panbai stood beside the brazier and said with a smile, "It's all Wei Lizhou's fault. He told us last night that it was your birthday a few days ago. We didn't know it at the time, so we will give you a birthday now.
This brazier is my birthday present for you. After you came back from the resort, you probably didn't step over the brazier to sweep away bad luck, so hurry up and change your luck. "
Yu Yiqing: "..."
Ling Heke was also holding a basin filled with hot water, and there were a few emerald green pomelo leaves floating in the basin.
Seeing Yu Yiqing looking towards him, Ling Heke explained calmly: "Our custom in Guangcheng is to wash your hands with water soaked in grapefruit leaves, which can remove bad luck and ward off evil spirits."
Yu Yiqing: ...Even Ling Heke was foolish with Wei Lizhou and Ye Panbai.
Seeing Yu Yiqing standing still, Wei Lizhou urged with a smile on his face: "At the same table, you should quickly step over this brazier and wash your hands. When I came home two days ago, my parents had already finished this brazier for me. The process of warding off evil spirits and eliminating disasters."
Although he was speechless for a while, Yu Yiqing did not reject their kindness. Although he had a cold look on his face, a little warmth flashed quietly in his eyes, and his eyes softened.
Seeing Yu Yiqing go through all the procedures, Wei Lizhou clapped his hands and applauded, "Okay, this bad luck has been swept away, and we will be blessed if we survive a catastrophe!"
Yu Yiqing had a helpless smile on his brows, "Have you guys finished the trouble? If it's over, you can go home."
"Wait, it's not over yet!" Wei Lizhou shouted.
Yu Yiqing looked at him puzzled.
Wei Lizhou turned off the light in the living room with a "snap", and the whole living room instantly became dark.
Using the flashlight of his mobile phone, Wei Lizhou walked to the coffee table in the living room, squatted down and tinkered under the coffee table for a while, and carefully lifted out a birthday cake with birthday candles from under the coffee table.
"Happy birthday to you... Happy birthday to Yu Yiqing."
Wei Lizhou, Ye Panbai and Ling Heke sang a birthday song to Yu Yiqing in unison.
Yu Yiqing froze for a moment, with a look of surprise on his brows and eyes.
The candles on the cake shone brightly and brightly, reflected in Yu Yiqing's amber eyes.
Wei Lizhou smiled and stood in front of Yu Yiqing holding the cake, "Make a wish, then blow out the candles."
Yu Yiqing pursed his lips, he couldn't tell what he was feeling at this moment.
He never understood the meaning of celebrating birthdays before. In his memory, no one has ever celebrated his birthday for him.
In Yu's family, only Yu Weiyun will celebrate his birthday, and Yu's mother will help Yu Weiyun do everything.
It was the first time to be the protagonist of a birthday celebration, Yu Yiqing clenched his fingertips uncomfortably, and said dryly, "What are you messing around with, my birthday has passed long ago."
Wei Lizhou smiled and said: "We know, but no one stipulates that birthdays can only be celebrated on the same day, we just postponed it for a few days."
Ye Panbai nodded his head, "That's right, that's right! Birthday celebration, we will arrive even though it's late!"
The corners of Ling Heke's lips curled up slightly, "Quickly make a wish and blow out the candles."
Seeing the expectant faces of the three of them, Yu Yiqing's mouth couldn't help curling up a little.
He lowered his cold eyebrows, closed his eyes, and made a wish to the sky for the first time.
After making his wish, Yu Yiqing blew out the candle.
Wei Lizhou and the others didn't curiously ask Yu Yiqing what wish he made. They all feel that if the wish is expressed, it will become ineffective.
Seeing Yu Yiqing blowing out the candles, Ye Panbai and Ling Heke handed the gift box they had just hidden to Yu Yiqing.
Yu Yiqing looked at the two of them with some puzzlement. Didn't they already give birthday presents just now?
Seeing that Yu Yiqing was still a bit unresponsive, Ye Panbai laughed loudly and said, "You must have been cheated, the real birthday present is here! I picked a watch for you, which suits your temperament quite well."
Ling Heke: "I chose a Rubik's Cube for you, I hope you will like it."
"Someone come and take the cake in my hand, I want to give a gift too!" Wei Lizhou yelled.
Ye Panbai gave him a blank look, "Can't you put the cake on the coffee table?"
"That's right..." Wei Lizhou realized that he was being stupid.
After he put the cake on the coffee table, he went outside and brought in the gift he had prepared.
Yu Yiqing: "..." Wei Lizhou's gift seemed a little unusual.
Wei Lizhou pushed the thick cardboard box in front of Yu Yiqing.
"I wanted to give you the Rubik's Cube, but I remembered that I gave it to you not long ago. Aren't you afraid of the cold? I chose a liftable electric heating table for you. It can be placed in the living room instead of the one in your living room. A coffee table with no heating function."
Ye Panbai smiled and said, "The gift you chose is really useful. The four of us can get together and play mahjong with this electric warming table."
Wei Lizhou looked proud, "That's not true, I also deliberately picked the most energy-efficient model. Even if it is turned on for a whole day, it will not consume too much power."
Yu Yiqing: "..."
Why does it feel that after this electric heating table is added, Wei Lizhou and the others will probably visit his small house more frequently.
